OK, I'll do it in trunk. Then you can copy it over to MATH_2_X.

Sure, but there is still quite some work in order to have all the source
consistent. There are still something like 270 ocurrences of calls to the
old "MathRuntimeException" factory methods, to be changed into direct
instantiation of a new exception object.
Everytime someone encounters such a call, he should check whether there
already exists a new exception that can be used instead; if so, please
replace it (and change the Javadoc, etc.). If not, we should create a new
exception class and proceed with the replacement.
